2008 Subaru B9 Tribeca - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

No, it is not normal. Most people use only one foot when driving, no matter the conditions. However, in this situation I think you may be able to recover this issue by keeping your left foot on the brake, put the car in gear, LIGHTLY apply the gas then slowly remove your foot from the brake. However, I would strongly recommend that you take your vehicle to a shop that can service your transmission and see what they say. It could be just a simple adjustment.

There is a switch that controls both drivers and passenger heaters. One might be off.

Maybe you shut the heater off on the passenger side.

This not a DIY job. The display is a computer drive device and even if you knew the problem you can't buy parts to fix it. Check online for facilities that repair the center solid state control touch screen. You must send it out for repair.

All that means is to put your radio on FM 88.1, and just wait. Jabra will find the exact frequency (mine is 88.7) and then it will work. When you want to use it to listen to music, just put the radio on 88.1 .

The headlight switch is part of a muti-switch the runs the lights on one side and wipers on the other. They are not cheep. 1) remove air bag 2) remove steering wheel 3) remove steering colum covers 4) unplug multi- switch (there may be 2 screws that hold the plug to the colum 5) remove screws (I think there is 4 screws) that hold multi-switch 6) remove muti-switch. (there may be a ty-wrap or wire harness holder you will need to free the wires from) 7) reverse order to reinstall

all stations, AM and FM? is the antenna , broken? or unplugged from rear of radio? past 90.? that is FM. and FM must have an antenna to work or are you saying the button fails to advance the stations. if yes, that is a bad radio.

change your fuel filter and clean those gummed up injectors ..see if that works ...you may have to sit with it and keep it running while the fuel cleaner runs the gum out ...the filter is simply stopped up ..you must get a new filter

hi you have to pop the surround peice off on the interior on the other side of the mirror there you will find the screws that hold the mirror on, undo them and the electric plug and repeat to reinstall

if the battery sits in front you will have to remove it.most imports now a days are like this.once the battery is removed you should have ample space to remove the bulb. just make sure that you use a clean rag to install the new one as you must not touch the glss part of the bulb with your fingers or oilly rags.befopre disconnecting the battery make sure you dont need a code to restart the car or use the radio.

i have heard that some subaru uses oil, due to the high performance, or it may be a leak in the piston gasket, until it blows black keep going, another way you can see if there is a prob with thje pistons, is check is the emisions go to an MOT teasting center they will put it on and will tell you if you have problem, just ask them to test the emishions, then you can take the problem from there good luck

Sorry, I don't recognize that code and haven't been able to find anything on it. A typical code will be a "P" with a 4 digit number after the P.

I do feel you are being told the truth here sounds like they need to replace the speedo head as its like a mini computer inside its all electronic ,but first i would check the earth wire as this would stop it all from working and the garage if its a dealer would replace unit anyway as more profit involved in unit changing than repairing the earth cable which they would have to do anyway when fitting the new one but a new unit at dealer prices ?? need i say anymore

You need to removal the door trim(PITA). Here is a good guide to follow. It comes from a great side and I encourage you to become a member..its free btw. Side Mirror Replacement

Inspect/Replace There can be slight variations in procedure from one model to another when replacing headlights. For instance, on some models the turn signal light assembly must be removed before the headlight can be replaced. Overall, however, the procedure does not differ much from the following typical instructions.
Make sure the replacement bulb is the same type and part number as the one that is being replaced.
Comparing the old and ther replacement headlamps. To Replace:

• Remove the headlight bezel retaining screws. Remove the bezel. If necessary, disconnect the turn signal lamp wires.
• Remove the retaining ring screws from one or both lights.
• Remove the retaining rings.
• Remove the light from the housing. Disconnect the wiring connector from the back of the light.
• Push the wiring connector onto the prongs at the rear of the new light.
• Place the new light in the headlight housing. Position it so the embossed number in the light lens is on the top.
• Place the retaining ring over the light and install the retaining ring screws. Tighten them slightly.
• Check the aim of the headlight and adjust it, if necessary.
• Install the headlight bezel. Secure it with the retaining screws.
• Connect the turn signal lamp wiring (if it was disconnected).

replace them again and install with gloves on. Oils in your hands destroys these bulbs prematurely

wait one second, both low beam lights went out at the same time? If so, sounds like something else is wrong, and I'ld suppect the hi/low beam switch. If the car is this new there should be a warranty on it to be replaced.

A FixYa rating would be nice !
